For months, Europe has been rocked by protests as farmers decry high costs and low prices, in addition to what they call unfair competition from Ukraine, and the constraints of environmental regulations. EU elites are worried that the farmers' movement will boost anti-establishment parties in the European elections this June. The EU Commission has put forward proposals to ease the burden on farmers, but environmental groups say this is a short-term political tactic that undermines elements of the EU's own Green Deal – and will ultimately lead to more climate chaos for everybody, including farmers.

N350b = $82million at current exchange rate. Chump change for our politicians.
Delay by the economic team in taking certain relevant actions ended up creating greater problems and complexities
to be resolved than probably anticipated. . Economic management is more of articulate hindsight and proactive vision than fire brigade action and moreover : timing is everything
You’re wise Kester, in all of human endeavours, timing is everything. Haven’t you noticed how the black race is the last to appreciate that , and where African Time has left us?
To pump and not pumped. Still in planning stage while people are dying. They collect their huge allowances and salaries promptly and go lazying about while others are owed salaries and are encouraged to go hungry and endure to save the economy.No wonder kidnapping and robbery are on the rise.They are never satisfied with what they receive (salaries and allowances) but will further steal and pad the budget. And every day they will go to the press and tell us they will do this, they will do that and they never do any. Shameless people.
We will review and take appropriate action.
